Only other mention I could find of this variety was in a post here from swamperbob. Weight is quite low at ~21.7 grams. Patina looks very convincing. Report this Post to the Staff

Cap and eagle's head are both stylized in a rather simplistic way, and the date's gigantic. Appears to have circulated for quite some time anyway. Very interesting, thanks for sharing.
